Another Kitty/Litter Box Woe Thread

[Aggie_Ama]

I am using a pine type, it is more fine litter than the pine pellets she hated. She was declawed and I have read that can be one of the many bad things is declawed cats have bad toilet habits. I was thinking of taking the lid off the box. She is going on the carpet in the room her box is in. It is like she knows that is the room but doesn't think the box is the only spot. She does use her box but not exclusively. I wonder if moving it to a hard surface would help? I have never had an indoor only cat so I am clueless.

My cats refuse to use pine litter. Try switching to a litter with no scent -- +1 to trying clay litter. Clay is so cheap, you could probably dump it every other day and start with fresh.
